You don't have to say a wordI know why your standing hereIn the porch light with those tearsFor a while you tried to find the wordsThat could break my heartStill leave us as good friendsLet me help you out

Were you just 17 and young17 and dumbCaught up by the sight of that montana skyThat night you gave me your heartOn the first falling starIt was bright and fell fastLove can burn out like that

Oh oh ohhhhh

Just take me back to that nightThe camp fire flickered in your eyesOh I know you felt it tooWhat I can't figure outIs what exactly is different nowWhere did I loose youPlease tell me now

Was I just 17 and young17 and dumbCaught up by the sight of that montana skyThat night I gave you my heartOn the first falling scarIt was bright and fell fastLove can burn out like thatIt can burn out like that

So go ahead and dry your eyesLets not make this a bad goodbyeWe both know what happened here

We were 17 and young17 and dumbCaught up by the sight of that montana skyThat night you gave me your heartOn the first falling scarIt was bright and fell fastLove can burn out like that
